Vitamin C Prevents Side Effects from the MMR Vaccine

by Helen Saul Case

(OMNS,
September 10, 2016) This is not an article about whether vaccinations
are "good" or "bad." This is an article about how high-dose vitamin C
can protect children from vaccination side effects. Until we have real
choice as to whether or not we vaccinate our children, we must seek ways
to make immunizations safer. High-dose vitamin C makes immunizations
safer: http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v08n07.shtml

Giving the MMR Shot to a Child with Known Vaccination Sensitivity

Our
daughter recently received the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella)
vaccination. In fact, she received two. New York State recently changed
the law requiring an additional MMR shot in order for children to attend
kindergarten. We had to make sure that she received both injections
this summer before school started. We were concerned about giving her
two MMR shots (and so close together) because after a previous
vaccination she had a serious reaction.

Years ago, before we learned to give huge doses of vitamin C before, during, and after
immunizations, our daughter (then age 15 months) had a severe reaction
to the DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus) vaccination: she lost
her coordination, was screaming, falling over, and spiked a high fever.
High-dose, saturation-level vitamin C cured her reaction to the DPT
vaccine and taught us an important lesson: give more vitamin C. Much,
much more. Now, in order to protect our children from any vaccination
side effects, we give very high doses of vitamin C before, during (yes,
even at the doctor's office) and after immunizations. To read more see: http://www.orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v11n09.shtml and http://www.orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v12n07.shtml.

No,
the MMR shot is not the same as a DPT shot. Just because our child
reacted to one vaccine, doesn't necessarily mean she will react to
another. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), "Any vaccine can cause side effects" and "like any
medicine, is capable of causing serious problems." See: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/side-effects.htm When you consider just how much vitamin C our daughter held after the MMR vaccinations, we have to ask ourselves one question: where was it all going?

How Much C? A Lot. A Whole Lot.

Our
five-year-old, 37-pound (about 17 kg) daughter received
saturation-level doses of 8,000 to 11,000 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C
every day the week before her first MMR vaccination. The day of her
shot, she happily and comfortably held 24,000 mg. For the next couple of
days after the shot, her dose was reduced to 20,000 mg/day. Then, for
the next four days, her vitamin C dose went down to 15,000 mg/day. The
next four: 14,000 mg, 13,000 mg, 12,000 mg and 11,000 mg per day
respectively.

For
the next several weeks leading all the way up to her second MMR shot,
she was getting between 8,000 and 11,000 mg of vitamin C each day.

On
the day of her second MMR shot, just a little over a month from the
first one, she once again received and comfortably held 24,000 mg of
vitamin C. The day after: 19,000 mg. Once again, using bowel tolerance
as an indicator, we gradually decreased this dose over the two weeks
following this second immunization to an average of 9,000 mg/day.
Eventually, we went back to her regular dose of 5,000 mg/day or 1,000
mg/day per year of age, following the recommendation of Frederick Robert
Klenner, MD: http://orthomolecular.org/library/jom/1998/articles/1998-v13n04-p198.shtml or http://www.doctoryourself.com/klennerpaper.html.

According
to the CDC Vaccine Information Statement we received from our
daughter's pediatrician, the MMR vaccine can cause "mild problems"
including fever, rash, and glandular swelling; "moderate problems"
including fever-induced seizure and painful joints; and "severe
problems" such as serious allergic reactions, deafness, coma, and
permanent brain damage. See: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/side-effects.htm

Our
daughter did not experience a single one of these side effects from the
MMR shots. She had no vaccination reaction whatsoever. She had no
fever, no swelling, no nothing. She was (and is) happy and healthy. How
would things have gone if she had not been given high-dose vitamin C? We
don't know. And we aren't about to take chances with potential side
effects like coma or permanent brain damage.

Using Bowel Tolerance as an Indicator of "Enough" Vitamin C

Everyone
wants to know, "How much vitamin C?" There is no set amount. This is
why bowel tolerance is the ideal indicator. When warranted by such
events as illness, potential illness, or immunizations, we give our
children enough vitamin C to get just to the point of saturation, or
loose stool. This is often indicated by a rumbling tummy or some gas. If
stools become loose, we decrease how much vitamin C we give. If our
children are happy and tooting away, that is just about right. After
each MMR shot, our daughter's body accepted up to 24,000 mg/day of
vitamin C. On any other regular day, she would reach bowel tolerance at
much lower doses.

To
reiterate, we give vitamin C to bowel tolerance when our kids show
signs of sickness (runny nose, coughing, sneezing), and before, during,
and after immunizations. We get them to bowel tolerance of vitamin C before there is a full-blown illness, and to prevent side effects from vaccinations.

"The
titration (bowel tolerance) method or large intravenous doses are
absolutely necessary to obtain excellent results. The method produces
spectacular effects in all patients capable of tolerating these doses. A
placebo could not possibly work so reliably, even in infants and
children, and have such a profound effect on critically ill patients." - Robert F. Cathcart III, MD

This
is how we apply Dr. Robert F. Cathcart's bowel tolerance method: for
our five year old daughter, we give vitamin C throughout the day in
divided doses, beginning the day with a larger "loading dose" (about
3,000 mg) and then give frequent, smaller doses (about 2,000 mg every
two hours) right up to about an hour before bedtime. When she was
younger, we gave less, and she "held" less. Bowel tolerance is an
excellent indicator of "enough" vitamin C no matter how old your child
is.

When in Doubt, Give Vitamin C

Our
daughter may be a special case. Maybe your child won't need nearly this
much vitamin C. However, knowing the incredible safety and
effectiveness of high-dose vitamin C, we are very comfortable giving our
daughter what I would like to call "take no chances" sized doses at
immunization time.

No, we don't take chances. We take vitamins. And we take a lot of them.
